Top student artists from across Chatham County Schools conclude their daylong clinic with a free public show at Jordan-Matthews High School featuring art produced during the clinic and other work the student artists choose to exhibit.
“Fine Crafts,” the theme for this year’s clinic, features artists Kristi Eskelund and Melanie Jackson working with students to develop and refine skills needed to create functional art.
Eskelund specializes in textiles — most notably, felt — while Jackson is known locally for her metalwork and jewelry design. Jackson, a native of Pittsboro, also is owner of Firefly Carrboro, a shop in Carrboro’s Carr Mill Mall providing beads and jewelry-making supplies to local artists and crafters.
